Globally, 800 million people are malnourished. Heavily subsidised farmers in rich countries produce sufficient surplus food to feed the hungry, but not at a price the poor can afford. Even donating the rich world’s surplus to the poor would not solve the problem. Most poor people earn their livin...

Biofortification breeding of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
The larva of the bean pod weevil (BPW), Apion godmani Wagner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), causes serious yield losses in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Mexico and Central America, by consuming the seed as it develops in the immature pod. Resistance to the BPW was identified in bean germpl...

Breeding for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of global importance in common bean is reviewed with emphasis on development and application of marker-assisted selection (MAS). The implementation and adoption of MAS in breeding for disease resistance is advanced compared to the implementat...

A total of 150 microsatellite markers developed for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were tested for parental polymorphism and used to determine the positions of 100 genetic loci on an integrated genetic map of the species. The value of these single-copy markers was evident in their ability to...

Among Plant Genetic Resources for Agriculture, landraces are excellent genetic materials for developing new varieties. Due to their genetic diversity, these populations have maintained potentially useful alleles for increasing valuable traits in crops. A diet mostly relying on pulses as source of...

La ingesta de proteína y micronutrientes en el Caribe seco colombiano en los últimos años ha sido motivo de preocupación pues cerca del 57 % de sus habitantes tiene déficit de aminoácidos, hierro (Fe) y zinc (Zn) en su dieta. Este artículo muestra los resultados de la evaluación multilocal agronó...

The common bean is the most important legume for human consumption and is grown in areas under conditions of varied rainfall and temperature that limit its yield. The objective of the present study was to identify genotypic differences in adaptation of 91 bean genotypes to high temperature under ...
